    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I feel privileged to contribute to the Motion on the President’s Address to the nation. I want to begin by saying that the address captures a number of issues that are affecting this country; ranging from security to health, education and youth unemployment. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to zero in on one sector that I feel has not been adequately addressed – the education sector. The President highlighted a number of actions that have been taken within this period to ensure that the education sector is transformed to the level that is required to serve this nation. He talked about the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and mentioned the progress that has been achieved so far. He then moved on to the response by the Ministry of Education to the pandemic. The CBC is a good concept but the conditions under which it is being implemented are wanting. Those conditions, compounded with the pandemic, have seen students and pupils withdrawn from schools. They are now languishing at home, with many of them losing their lives and the opportunity to realize their dreams. Many of them have given up at the end of it. As much as many initiatives have been mentioned, including fabrication of desks and reopening of classes for final year students and Grade Four pupils, I feel like not much has been done in this sector and, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
